Fairbanks, AK

Fairbanks!! We went to the Midnight Sun festival (a street fair—blech*—but we got some delicious reindeer dogs out of it), saw some music, and then attended the annual midnight baseball game. It was minor league (the Alaska Goldpanners) but the entire town was there and it was pretty exciting, especially as the sun barely approached the skyline, even when the game was ending around 2 AM. Also, it was my first baseball game!! It was a pretty good game for a first—the innings were very short and the Alaska team won.

*Sophia would like me to note that not all people like dislike street fairs. Meaning, she likes them. And I should say, it wasn’t all bad. Watching the local tween’s dance performance was particularly incredible and cringe-worthy.
